Someone in the forums shared this with me and it seems to fix the problem: Locate the module names of your sound cards with:
less /proc/asound/modules mine was: 0 snd_emu10k1 1 snd_ice1712 In /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base replace: install sound-slot-0 modprobe snd-card-0 install sound-slot-1 modprobe snd-card-1 with: install sound-slot-0 modprobe snd_ice1712 install sound-slot-1 modprobe snd_emu10k1 or the other way depending on which card you want as the default (sound- slot-0) -- default sound card is randomly set on boot, settting default sound card through gnome-sound-properties did not work correctly, changing volume through hotkeys (on logitech multimedia keyboard) is bind with card0, not with default card https://launchpad.net/bugs/45786 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
